For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a few cloves of minced garlic to the stuffing. To ensure even cooking, make sure the fish are roughly the same size. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the fish; check for doneness by gently flaking the fish with a fork. Serve with a simple side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete and satisfying meal. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the fish just before serving brightens the flavors.
